2 Replies and 105 ViewsGreetings from South London 105 2Started by BeaHi everyone! In memory of our beloved angel Doddie I became a full member of the Birdline UK. I am a proud parront of three. A 10years old budgie Cuki, a 9years old cockatiel Coco and a 18 months old sun conure Sunsun. All my birds are very well behaved with a twist of naughty sides (just like their mommy). I haven't rescued any bird yet but I can say my youngest rescued me ... You might see us in London as Sunsun wears harness and we go for adventures to parks, coffee shops etc. I hope to see ...

I've previously kept budgies and we landed up hand rearing one a few years ago who became a really important part of our family. He died 2 years ago and my kids still miss him terribly, me too!
We have three kids, 13, 11 and 9 who are all keen to have another bird in the house.
I've been reading up about parrots - my grandma used to have an African Grey, but, I've never kept one myself.
There's a wee Hahn's up for adoption - can anyone tell me how nippy they are Or, ev...

1 Replies and 149 ViewsHi from North Devon 149 1Started by DerekI have been a member since January when I requested a bird. My CAG died and as Birdline did not know the cause I was put in quarantine for 3 months. Well 7 months later and still not result. Even offered to be a safe house. No wonder the charity is at breaking point if members are treated like I have been treated. Needless to say I will not be renewing my membership as I have already wasted £25. Oh and I passed my home visit which was a waste of time.

However, we have been birdless for about 10yrs due to changes in our working circumstances i.e. More hours, time away from home. However, we have both recently retired & therefore feel that we now have the time again. Our ...

I met some of the birdline representatives at the Parrot SHow a couple of weeks ago and thought i'd take the plunge and become a member.
I have a lovely, feisty and cuddly yellow sided conure. Rio. SHe's 7 and I've had her since she was 16 weeks old. I'm considering getting a companion for her as my circumstances have changed and she is now home alone when i'm out at work all day. I think she'd like a friend, but i'm concerned she would be jeal...

I'd love to keep in contact with anyone in the area and maybe meet up as I don't know anyone else with birds. I'd especially like advice on keeping two male birds together. Morgan is becoming a real biter and draws blood. I've read...

I have been thinking about adopting a bird for a while and i cannot see the sense in funding animal breeders when there are so many that are in need of homes. I have always had rescue animals, including the current two dogs and a cat. I have some experience with aviary birds, having had some in the past. I'm thinking that safehousing is a good idea to gain experien...
